 Martin Luther King, Jr. and Malcolm X tried to help colored people in their struggle for civil rights in the United States in the 1960s. However, their approach and speech were not the same.  While Martin tended to be conciliatory by using a calm method and the teaching of the Bible, Malcolm was more aggressive and he made clear what he considered unfair treatment. 

He opposed the ideas of the enlightenment and liberal changes his entire life.
